The net worth is growing at roughly 35.58% per annum since 2008.

In another words, the net worth grew roughly 56-fold over the last 13.22 years since I started tracking my finance.

To put things into perspective, here are the performances of legendary investors:

Investor Return per annum (%) Multiplier Period
Warren Buffett 31.6 17.2 (in less than 11 years) 1957 – 1968
Peter Lynch 29.2 28 (over 13 years) 31 May 1977 – 31 May 1990
Nick Sleep 20.4 9.21 (in less than 13 years) 2001 – 2014
Charlie Munger 19.8 10.5 (over 13 years) 1962 – 1975

It is very challenging to find investments with that kind of returns that last for more than a decade.

As Warren Buffett said, “The best investment you can make is in yourself.”

It is true. It works!

Invest in myself gives me the best returns so far.

I need to learn more to earn more. This is an unbreakable financial law.

There’s no limit to what I can learn with an open mind. This means there’s no limit to what I can earn which I don’t mind. 🙂
